"subconsiously" predicting the future?

Hello all,

For the most part of my life I’ve dealt with this strange phenomenon where I will sort of “subconsciously” think of something (meaning that it just pops in my head without me really trying to think about it) and then in the near future (can be minutes or a few hours later) that thing happens. I’ve always brushed this sort of thing off as just a strange happening with my brain, but am now a little paranoid that it could be demonic or something? Most of the time it’s regarding piddly events/happenings so nothing super important (yet), but it’s still worrisome to me.

Does anyone else deal with this? Should I continue to just ignore it and take it for what it is?

Thanks!
 
I have always had this, too. It doesn’t bother me. It is just part of who I am.
 
I doubt it’s demonic. It could be coincidental if it’s just piddly things (as opposed to big things like knowing someone is in trouble or about to die), or it could be a charism. I would suggest if it’s bothering you, talk to your priest.
 
Many things it could be. If it is a charism, then with proper application, it could be extremely useful. Before you speak with anyone, maybe keep a journal of dates and times of “premonitions” versus dates and times of actual occurrences.
 
I find this interesting. I also didn’t realize it could be a charism as others have pointed out.
 
I am totally serious when I tell you this would happen to me when I was younger. The thing is, I would only have premonitions about which episode of The Simpsons would be on later that night.

I don’t watch much TV these days so it doesn’t happen anymore.

It’s a gift. Unfortunately I was never able to use it to beat the stock market or win the lottery.
 
It happens to me, mostly about my kids. I was told by a priest that it was ok if I didn’t seek it out but it just happened.
 
My mother had premonitions (usually about unhappy things happening) and she didn’t like to talk about it

I myself have had a couple really strong, emotionally strong, sensations that preceded certain unexpected events in my life.

I suggest this as well. It might be deja vu which is quite natural but can make you feel intensely that you’ve experienced or predicted something before.
 
thank you, all, for your feedback. Just to clarify, this strange phenomenon is not something that happens like I get a passing thought and dwell on it - usually it’s just a passing thought that comes and goes about something that can potentially happen. I never am able to talk to anyone about it (like “hey I have this feeling that ___ will happen”), as I only remember thinking about it happening once it’s happened.

That probably doesn’t make any sense, but it is a strange thing.
 
Maybe it’s just a form of pattern recognition.

In the past, similar things have happened, and certain results followed.

It might not be happening on the conscious level, but instead it’s intuition (which is not ESP or predicting the future, but a way of “connecting the dots” among the phenomena we encounter every day).

But in either case, I doubt it’s supernatural.
